To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, WILHELM SCHWARZ, a subject of the King of Prussia,German'Emperor, residing at Dren, in the Province oi the Rhine, Kingdomoi Prussia, German Empire, have invented a new and useful Improvement inDrawer-Guides, of which the following is a speciication.

My invention relates to improvements in a combined drawer guide andsupport; and its object is to provide the same with certain new anduseful features hereinaiter more fully described.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figurel shows an underside view'of the drawer, fully drawn out with the slide,and the device connecting drawer and slide. Fig. 2 is a section on lineA-B Fig. l. Fig. 3 shows a section on line C-D oi Fig. l. Fig. 4 is anunderside view oi the drawer detached from the slide frame. Fig. 5 is anunderside perspective view.

The drawer a glides in the well known manner on a slide-frame b havinggrooves c at both sides, to slidingly engage stationary supports c in apiece of furniture. The slide frame is provided with ribs d engaginggrooves d on the underside of the drawer, so that the latter cannot edgewhile being moved outwardly or inwardly. The connecting device betweendrawer and traine prevents the -former from tilting when in its outwardposition, and the device consists in bolts g, the ends of which areadapted to be slid under metal strips f secured to the slide. Thesebolts g are properly guided in straps n and o secured to the undersideofthe drawer and can be moved into and out of engagement with the stripsf on the slide by a lever h pivoted in about its middle to the drawerand connected to the bolts g by pins m. The lever h has its ends bent ata I right angle, so that in striking against the cross bar t' of thesliding frame b the ends of the bolts g cannot be disengaged rom underthe strips f, and thus the drawer in its outward position cannot tilt.li a disconnection is 40 desired the lever h is turned by hand till thebolts g are far enough withdrawn to be iree oi the strips f and thedrawer can be lifted out bodily. A cross-bar c in the rear oi thesliding frame b is doubled in thickness and projects downwardly so as tostrike against a stationary `bar Z in the piece of furniture so that theoutward motion of the sliding frame bis limited.

1. The combination, with a suitable casing having a drawer opening andprovided with slide-supports, of a slide mounted on said supports andprovided on its upper' side witlr longitudinal bolt-engaging strips, adrawer carried by the slide, a lever centrally pivoted to the under sideof the drawer, and bolts pivoted to said lever and adapted to be therebymoved into and out of engagement with the boltengaging strips,substantially as described.

2. The combination with a suitable casing having a drawer opening andprovided with slide-supports, of a slide mounted on said supports,having guide ribs on its upper surface and being provided near said ribson the inner edge with longitudinal bolt-engaging strips, a drawercarried by the slide having grooves to engage the ribs of the slide, alever centrally pivoted to the under side of the drawer, and boltspivoted to said lever and adapted to be thereby moved into and out ofengagement with the bolt-engaging strips, substantially as described. 65

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to`this speciiication in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses. 80
